Top Greenfield Quotes

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

Protestations of indifference to higher office are hard to take seriously when the 'non-candidate' is busily engaged in testing the waters. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Kent Greenfield

All in all, we might think we like choice, but the question of which choices count and which do not is very, very tricky. — Kent Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Marilyn Greenfield

If the plan doesn't work, change the plan, never the goal." Unknown — Marilyn Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

Something about her eyes or voice has always suggested the hint of a free spirit, trapped in a Peck and Peck cage, dreaming of making rude noises at public gatherings of Republicans. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Joseph Bruchac

I grew up in the small town of Greenfield Center, New York, which is in the foothills of the Adirondacks not far from the city of Saratoga Springs. It is a place I love, close to the forests and the mountains. — Joseph Bruchac

Greenfield Quotes By Dolores Hayden

In the 1954 Internal Revenue Code, a Republican Congress changed forty-year, straight-line depreciation for buildings to permit 'accelerated depreciation' of greenfield income-producing property in seven years. By enabling owners to depreciate or write off the value of a building in such a short time, the law created a gigantic hidden subsidy for the developers of cheap new commercial buildings located on strips. Accelerated depreciation not only encouraged poor construction, it also discouraged maintenance ... After time, the result was abandonment. — Dolores Hayden

Greenfield Quotes By Charles L. Marohn Jr.

Our modern system of zoning, which separates everything into pods of different micro-uses and then connects each pod with a hierarchy of transportation, handles greenfield development brilliantly. That is, it is handled in a very predictable, efficient manner. On the other hand, modern zoning is brutal to infill. Small infill projects not only have to withstand neighborhood opposition, but the bureaucratic encrustation of paperwork, hearings, plan reviews and minutiae that don't scale down well, especially on sites that tend to be more challenging (the reason they are gaps in the first place). — Charles L. Marohn Jr.

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

It's pretty rare to have CEOs or high level executives at big companies who are social activists. They tend not to be drawn to those areas of life. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

For millions, Roger Ebert will be remembered as a writer and television personality who brought a sense of passion and excellence to his craft. For me, he is a man who fused joy and courage as few others ever have. My life was enriched by having such a friend; it is poorer for losing such a friend. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

It strikes me as a sound, honest statement for a prospective voter to say: 'Look, I haven't given this election a minute's thought, and it's just not fair for me to cancel out the vote of someone who actually gives a damn.' Indeed, it's not just sound and honest - it's the ethically responsible thing to do. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Craig Greenfield

You say you care about the poor? Tell me their names. — Craig Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

Among all the complaints you hear these days about the crimes of the media, it seems to me the critics miss the big one. It is that especially TV, but also we of the print press, tend to reduce mess and complexity and ambiguity to a simple story line that doesn't reflect reality so much as it distorts it ... What bothers me about the journalistic tendency to reduce unmanageable reality to self-contained, movielike little dramas is not just that we falsify when we do this. It is also that we really miss the good story. — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

In the post-Watergate atmosphere of 1975 and 1976, the just-plain-folks personalities of both Ford and Carter seemed the perfect antidote to Nixon's arrogant, isolated presidency. But as alert history-minded readers know, Ford and Carter were both rebuffed by voters in their efforts to hold on to the presidency. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

Pilots are so hard because you have to introduce all these characters, you have to hook an audience, and an audience has such a smaller attention span than maybe they used to have. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Howard Greenfield

I'll never let you see, the way my broken heart is hurting me, I've got my pride and know how to hide all my sorrow and pain, I'll do my crying in the rain ... — Howard Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

There's nothing worse than walking around and talking about your failed relationship, all day, every day, for months on end. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

There are good people who are dealt a bad hand by fate, and bad people who live long, comfortable, privileged lives. A small twist of fate can save or end a life; random chance is a permanent, powerful player in each of our lives, and in human history as well. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield

The most obvious feature of the brain is that it is not homogeneous, but composed of different regions. There are no intrinsic moving parts, no obvious way of knowing where to start to understand what is actually happening, or what functions are taking place. — Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

There is no such thing as political science, but there are tenancies so strong that they might as well be called laws of nature. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

No offense to the other people that we work with, but we spend 14-hour days with each other. You're dying for some sort of new rhythm to play with and another person to have fun with. It's like, "Oh, I can't wait to hang out with Zoe Lister Jones today and not deal with that Jake Johnson." — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

I'm just not one of these guys who, like, you know, woke up with a six-pack. I need Skittles. I have to eat very particularly and I have to work out like a madman. And then it looks like ... okay. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Allen Greenfield

If you are on the Path, and see the Buddha walking toward you, kill him. — Allen Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

When Bill Clinton chose Al Gore in 1992 - from the same generational, ideological, and geographical background as his - it underscored his campaign's central argument that this was a clash between the past and the future, that 'Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow' was indeed the campaign's anthem. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

Well, politics is war, and in war, truth is the first casualty. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

After immersing myself in the mysteries of the Electoral College for a novel I wrote in the '90s, I came away believing that the case for scrapping it is less obvious than I originally thought. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

If you were starting from scratch to invent an instrument that could impose fiscal discipline, the last one on earth you would come up with is the United States government. — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Don't just do something because it's a trendy idea and will make you a lot of money. The reason I say that is because any kind of venture involves going through difficult times. If you're doing something you are passionate about and really believe in, then that will carry you through. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lauren Greenfield

I've often used the extremes in my work to comment on the mainstream. I think that sometimes a subject that I'm working on, like popular culture, is so present all around us that they're hard to see. It's like: How do you see the air you breathe? How do you see how it affects you? — Lauren Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

We measured our success not just by how much money we made, but by how much we contributed to the community. It was a two-part bottom line. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

If your support the community, they will support you. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Albert M. Greenfield

For me, hard work represents the supreme luxury of life. — Albert M. Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

If you happen to believe what Ben & Jerry's is supporting and involved in, then you should support the company. If you don't believe in what we are supporting, don't support it. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

There's nothing so dangerous for manipulators as people who choose to think for themselves. — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield

The question of how the ebb and flow of a highly developed mind can be catered to by a physical brain, and the related question of how the one impacts the other, are the hardest-ever challenges to human ingenuity and imagination. — Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Remi Aubuchon

What we're going for, in those humorous moments, is the absurdity of it all. The craziness of the night manager offering them an umbrella in the height of what is a horrible disaster was like, "What?!" That's Andy Greenfield, and he nailed the audition. He's the sweetest guy in the world, as is often the case with those guys, but on camera, he's so creepy that a lot of us kept saying, "You know, Andy, don't look at us like that anymore, okay? You're scaring us." — Remi Aubuchon

Greenfield Quotes By Daniel Greenfield

The oppressed oppress the oppressors. And everyone including the oppressors agrees that this is only fair because the oppressors deserve to be oppressed. After all they are the oppressors. — Daniel Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

I just never want to be in this situation where I get to set and they're like, 'We rewrote this scene, you're now naked.' I need a little prep work. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

I remember having a feeling like, 'I can't believe this is happening!' Two years ago I was auditioning for The Disney Channel, and now Paul Rudd is saying, 'Hey man, congratulations on your Emmy nomination!' — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

When an office-holder facing a multi-count indictment says that he has decided to spend more time with his family, the proper response is a horse-laugh. When an accused politician explains that a charge of corruption is 'really' an attack on his or her race, religion, ethnic background or gender, the odds that something felonious happened jumps. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

In politics, Bugs Bunny always beats Daffy Duck. Daffy's always going berserk, jumping up and down, yelling. Bugs's got that sly smile, like he always knows what's up, like nothing can ruffle him. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

When I listen to the complaints that follow just about every presidential debate, I'm reminded of the well-worn joke about the Jewish mother who buys her son two shirts. When he shows up at dinner wearing one, she says: 'What's the matter? You didn't like the other one?' — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Diego Rivera

The first thing I encountered on entering the museum was the earliest steam engine built in England. As I walked on, marveling at each successive mechanical wonder, I realized that I was witnessing the history of machinery, as if on parade, from its primitive beginnings to the present day, in all its complex and astounding elaborations.
Henry Ford's so-called "pile of scrap iron" was organized not only with scientific clarity but with impeccable, unpretentious good taste. Relics of the times associated with each machine were displayed beside it. To me, Greenfield Village, inside and out, was a visual feast. — Diego Rivera

Greenfield Quotes By Lauren Greenfield

All my film ideas and subjects have come from photography. — Lauren Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

If you open up the mind, the opportunity to address both profits and social conditions are limitless. It's a process of innovation. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Daniel Greenfield

His resentments came before his ideology. — Daniel Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

I got into writing and thinking about politics because I was told there would be no math. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Eloise Greenfield

I love a lot of things, a whole lot of things / Like / My cousin comes to visit and you know he's from the South /'Cause every word he says just kind of slides out of his mouth / I like the way he whistles and I like the way he walks / But honey, let me tell you that I love the way he talks. — Eloise Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lance Greenfield

Brevity in writing is very powerful — Lance Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lauren Greenfield

I am very lucky that my first film was fully commissioned by HBO. — Lauren Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

In Washington it is an honor to be disgraced. you have to have been somebody to fall. — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

During a panic attack, I remember that today is just today and that is all that it is. I take a deep breath in and I realize that in this moment I am fine and everything is okay. More importantly, I am reminded that my A.P.C. jeans are so perfectly worn in that they are appropriate for any season and I am suddenly at ease. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

Conservatives may worship Adam Smith's 'invisible hand,' but for Obama, the helping hand comes in large measure from the public, not the private sector. To call this 'socialism' is to do violence to the word and to the concept. To call it 'un-American' is a smear. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Ben Greenfield

In a nutshell: Stress is stress - no matter whether it's from exercise or from lifestyle - and the more stress you're placing on yourself from your lifestyle, the less stress you'll be able to place on yourself from exercise. — Ben Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

When you are led by values, it doesn't cost your business, it helps your business. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Diego Rivera

Not long after coming to Detroit, I heard of a museum of machinery in Dearborn which had been set up by Henry Ford but which, at that time, had not acquired its present popularity. The well-to-do people of fashionable Grosse Pointe and the Detroit workers as well ignored Greenfield Village, as this museum area was called. Almost nobody had any use for it, and I found out about it only through hearing people laugh at "old man Ford" for "wasting" millions on his "pile of scrap iron." These gibes excited my curiosity, and I asked my friends how I could arrange a visit and what was the earliest time I might go.
"Any time you like," they answered, not troubling to conceal their disdain. — Diego Rivera

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

For a girl, the wedding is when you're married. For a guy, it's when you get engaged. It takes a real aggressive human being to back out between the ring and the wedding. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

If a politician murders his mother, the first response of the press or of his opponents will likely be not that it was a terrible thing to do, but rather that in a statement made six years before he had gone on record as being opposed to matricide. — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Daniel Greenfield

Inspiration does come from the world of 'What should be', but when it isn't grounded in the world of 'What is' then it manifests as insanity or leads to miserable failures."

"The difference between the brilliant architect and the lunatic on the street corner is that while both of them know 'What should be', only one of them knows 'What is'. — Daniel Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Amy Butler Greenfield

True love knows no league. — Amy Butler Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Eloise Greenfield

I get way down in the music / Down inside the music ... — Eloise Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

I like that Ben & Jerry's is willing to speak out about social and political issues that aren't always safe - but are the right thing to do. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield

I often wonder whether real conversation in real time may eventually give way to these sanitized and easier screen dialogues, in much the same way as killing, skinning and butchering an animal to eat has been replaced by the convenience of packages of meat on the supermarket shelf ... Perhaps future generations will recoil with similar horror at the messiness, unpredictability and immediate personal involvement of a three-dimensional, real-time interaction. — Susan Greenfield, Baroness Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

F.D.R. had to deal with Southern segregationists - and outright racists - who held power in Congress, so he had to yield to that power in order to get his New Deal legislation passed. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Ben & Jerry's is an indulgent dessert that should be eaten in moderation. You should not be replacing more than one meal a day with ice cream. We do not consider a pint or a tub of ice cream to be a single serving. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

When I'm in the car sometimes it's like, 'Yeah, man, just put on the pop music.' You know what I mean? I don't want to listen to Tom Waits. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Albert M. Greenfield

Luck is an accident that happens to the competent. — Albert M. Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Robert Greenfield

Sometimes a little naivety goes a long long way!" (I said that) — Robert Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Businesses typically look at issues like price, quality, time of delivery. They don't often think about social and environmental impact because they're focused on their financial bottom line. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Elie Wiesel

From Jeff Greenfield: "I once asked Elie Wiesel "Are you an optimist or a pessimist?" "An optimist," he said. "I have to be. — Elie Wiesel

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Business can be a source of progressive change. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lauren Greenfield

My first book, 'Fast Forward', was about growing up in the shadow of Hollywood and how kids are affected by the culture of materialism and the cult of celebrity, and I've often felt the reason my work has an audience in the U.K. is because it's everything the British love to hate about the Americans. — Lauren Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Luvero

including Professor Oak and Delia Ketchum who is Ash's mother. Meanwhile, Ash and his friends meet and become friends with a trainer named Lisa. They come into Greenfield in the process and agree to join in to rescue — Luvero

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Look at your business and the activities that you undertake. Then, start to think about not just your economic concerns, but about social and environmental impacts that businesses have. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

In early 1961 a new president, John F. Kennedy, was told by military leaders and civilian officials that the Kingdom of Laos - of no conceivable strategic importance to the U.S. - required the presence of American troops and perhaps even tactical nuclear weapons. Why? Because if Laos fell, Asia would go red from Thailand to Indonesia. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Nathan M. Greenfield

the story of these men of the Second World War is another — Nathan M. Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

One of the great things about Ben & Jerry's for me is that not only is it delicious, but I get it for free. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

There is something discordant about a team of speechwriters and political operatives hammering away to create an image of the 'real, inner' candidate. And, to be blunt, there is no necessary connection between a moving life experience and the skills necessary for leadership. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

One of the enduring myths of campaign analysis is that you can actually count the number of 'undecided' voters by asking voters if they are undecided or not. Sometimes, significant numbers of voters actually change their minds. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lance Greenfield

Everyone appreciates being appreciated. — Lance Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

It was more than just material prosperity. America in 1960 was a country where restraint and boundaries were the natural conditions in all arenas. People married younger and stayed married; even with those added twenty-eight million, there were fewer divorces in 1960 than there had been a decade earlier. People did not have children unless they were married - only 2.5 percent of children were born out of wedlock, though the number in black households was disturbingly high - some 20 percent. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

As a general proposition, campaigns do not linger on the vice presidential nominee. When they have, it's always meant very bad news for the ticket. Think of Spiro Agnew's foot-in-mouth disease; Tom Eagleton's medical history; the real estate holdings of Geraldine Ferraro's husband; the unbearable lightness of Dan Quayle; Sarah Palin's reading list. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Businesses can lead with their values and make money, too. You don't have to simply be purely profit-driven. You can integrate social and environmental concerns into a business, be a caring business, be a generous business and still do very well financially. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lance Greenfield

I only have one prejudice, and that is against those who are prejudiced. — Lance Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Amy Butler Greenfield

Maybe I couldn't stop other people from judging me, but I could stop looking to them for approval. Maybe most people would never be able to accept me for who I really was - not the broadside makers, not the Court gossips, not even Nat - but I didn't have to follow suit.
I could still decide to accept myself. — Amy Butler Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

Ice cream is the perfect buffer, because you can do things in a somewhat lighthearted way. Plus, people have an emotional response to ice cream; it's more than just food. So I think when you combine caring, and eating wonderful food, it's a very powerful combination. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

Yeah, a lot of people ask me to take my shirt off, which is aggressive. I wish that I were just one of those guys who was just like, 'You know, look, when I was seven I had a six-pack, and it just never went away.' — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Max Greenfield

I think the most important foundation about any relationship is just being honest. You've got to. My wife and I are honest to a fault with each other, and we're best friends on top of it, so we're very fortunate. — Max Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Daniel Greenfield

CAIR is still trying to promote its strange claim that criticism of its ideology is racist....The ridiculous claims that criticism of Islam is an act of bigotry fail to take into account the fact that former Muslims like Bosch, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Firoozeh Bazrafkan have been some of the sharpest critics of the ideology. Did they also change races? — Daniel Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jerry Greenfield

I eat many different ice creams. I'm not an ice cream snob, although I do think Ben & Jerry's is the best. But I'm happy to eat anybody's ice cream, really. As long as it's good. — Jerry Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Trevor Greenfield

We are in a world that has forgotten how interconnected we are with each other; how reliant we are on her mother, Gaia, for everything we need to exist, and that we are, in fact, made of the same materials as the stars. We can become as the Gods, but only if we remember that we are already divine beings. — Trevor Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

Men and women in my lifetime have died fighting for the right to vote: people like James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, who were murdered while registering black voters in Mississippi in 1964, and Viola Liuzzo, who was murdered by the Ku Klux Klan in 1965 during the Selma march for voting rights. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Nicholas Carr

[Patricia Greenfield] concluded that "every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others." Our growing use of the Net and other screen-based technologies has led to the "widespread and sophisticated development of visual-spatial skills." We can, for example, rotate objects in our minds better than we used to be able to. But our "new strengths in visual-spatial intelligence" go hand in hand with a weakening of our capacities for the kind of "deep processing" that underpins "mindful knowledge acquisition, inductive analysis, critical thinking, imagination, and reflection. — Nicholas Carr

Greenfield Quotes By Robert Greenfield

Right in front of us on a screen that looks to be at least twenty feet high and twice as wide, the extremely awful movie Myra Breckinridge is being shown in very lurid living color. As Raquel Welch, Mae West, and John Houston cavort before us like overblown figures from a fever dream by Hieronymus Bosch, Gram and I look at one another in horror. Both of us know we have entered another dimension. Gram Parsons and I are now in the twilight zone. — Robert Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lauren Greenfield

The people in the popular group say there is no peer pressure because they are at the top of the food chain. Really what they are doing is just eating away at everybody else. — Lauren Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

Since when do grown men and women, who presume to hold high government office and exercise what they think of as "moral leadership," require ethics officers to tell them whether it is or isn't permissible to grab the secretary's behind or redirect public funds to their own personal advantage? — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

Think about one of the most powerful influences on a young child's life - the absence of a father figure. Look back on recent presidents, and you'll find an absent, or weak, or failed father in the lives of Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. — Jeff Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Lauren Greenfield

I focus on a lot of women's issues. — Lauren Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Meg Greenfield

In government and out, there are vast realms of the bureaucracy dedicated to seeking more information, in perpetuity if need be, in order to avoid taking action. — Meg Greenfield

Greenfield Quotes By Scott Millett

As your product evolves, adding new features becomes as easy as it was in the good old days of greenfield development. — Scott Millett

Greenfield Quotes By Jeff Greenfield

By every measure, John Kennedy's sex life was compulsive and reckless. At one level, it had clear public consequences. Knowledge of Kennedy's behavior gave FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover absolute job security, as well as the potential power to derail Kennedy's re-election had he survived assassination. — Jeff Greenfield
